Nathk, it looks like I’m not going back to bed right this minute after all! Sigh. This is exactly why I don’t usually sign in when I wake up in the middle of the night, or way early in the morning – I can’t resist the chatter! :grin:

Can’t speak with any authority on the subject – I never pay much attention to details like this – yet I do vaguely remember seeing something of this nature somewhere. Not to worry, someone with the correct info will set us both straight before the end of the day. One of the beauties of TODvillage!

Don’t laugh – the President waved as he was about to enter the car and dummy me’s hand actually lifted and waved back! My hand raised again and waved when FLOTUS waved from inside the car. :shock: All on its own. Without conscious thought. Yo, dummy, he can’t see you! She can’t see you! I swear this man and his family have destroyed my stoic, realistic, real-world response to politicians and celebrities alike. This is just too much for my mind. :grin:

Morning, Nena! I don’t think the 3:45am happened around here, and you are here now! :grin:
I’m not actually sure *I* have arisen because my eyes are burning with fatigue – I read after signing off last night – and of course since it’s now much lighter here even my blackout curtains are not working. I’ll probably get up and go make breakfast with plans to be back for the 8-ish do.

Amk, it ‘shivers me timbers’ when you and I have the same reaction to whatever! I took one look at the length and thought – I don’t want the answer that badly. BTW, length is always the first thing I check when a video is posted,and the reason some don’t get viewed . It’s one reason I prefer to listen to POTUS and FLOTUS live because the time is immaterial then.

There are TWO 747s always that would accompany a POTUS. They are identical planes. If need be, they would quickly switch them including contents without those as passengers ever knowing…….meaning playing a decoy…..switcheroo…..placing contents exactly as placed by the passangers.

You probably saw one plane, but the other one was not too far away. There are 2 Beast Limo that are part of the travel.

Here’s a Chris Wallace’s Take on AF1 right after GW Bush’s last flight on AF1

Yeah, thanks Nena. I watched the shorter version (and was quite surprised when the jacket on the seat said Bush. Go figure, when they had said earlier in the piece that this was filmed when Bush was president!)

Hubris is amazing isn’t it? I guess she already changed her affiliation by calling herself a “Conservative” rather than a Republican. I think the Conservative party has already been started in the northeast as a third party like Libertarian or Green. Guess Sarah had to come up with a new name, but Freedom? Really? Have we not been making fun of the Tea Party for four years, that they finish everything or start everything they say by claiming they …, you know… freedom. You get my reference.

Actually, I’ll be happy if tundra twit starts her freedumb party and peels away the teh crazy teabagger votes from gop. It would give dems a fighting to get back the house and increase senate majority.

Oh please who gives a dam, all Palin know how to do is quit, like she quit being Governor of Alaska. Too bad she doesn’t quit whatever she call her self doing and go somewhere out of sight for good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
